{Simple BBQ Lettuce Wraps}

ok you will not believe how simple this recipe is. I learned of this recipe when the Hubbs and I were first married. It is so simple and a crowd favorite. We have this at least once a month. Ready for the 4 simple steps?

Step 1
Place 3-4 chicken breasts in a slow cooker

Step 2
Pour your favorite BBQ sauce* over them.

Step 3
Cook for 5-6 hours on low.

Step 4
Serve in lettuce, rolls, or over rice

I like to pair this with a steamed veggie and skillet potatoes or mashed potatoes.

I told you homemade could be easy.

I made Crockpot BBQ pulled chicken sandwiches last night and everyone (even the 9 month old) LOVED them!. A couple things that can mix it up, and cut your costs...Use 2-3 pounds of boneless skinless chicken thighs trimmed instead of the chicken breasts. Its a cheaper cut of meat and it tastes just as good!Along with the BBQ sauce, I added 1/2 cup brown sugar, 3/4 cup italian dressing (weird right?), and 2 TBSP worchestershire sauce. I just found your blog today and am LOVING it! Ironically it is along the lines of the one I recently started. Keep up the awesome work!

I have been inspired by your blog!!! I saw a blurb about you on yahoo news this am:) I've def never been the cook, I can live off of ramen noodles and cereal but your recipes sound easy and delicious. We're in the middle of a snow storm here in MO so I can't go to the store right now.. but I looked in our fridge and pantry and I got the ingredients for this one! It's in the crock pot right now.. I've never even used the crock pot lol, thats my hubby's specialty. Question though, I used thawed chicken breasts... do you use thawed or frozen? Just wondering about the timing. Thank you!!
